| Brief Description: | Paul Bernard and Suzy Delair star in this 1949 melodrama, directed by
Jean Gremillon, about a reclusive aristocrat ridiculed in the
provincial French fishing town where he lives, because of the gaudy
white spats he is always so fond of wearing. Adapted from a play by
Jean Anouilh. "If Emily Bronte had written The Postman Always Rings
Twice, the result would be the hard-boiled, Gothic Pattes Blanches, an
extraordinary French film" (Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer).
French with English subtitles. |
